Since 2005

Seed is a promise. We've kept ours for two decades.

Our Story

Started by a seed multiplier, still run by growers

Mangalam Kishori Seeds began as a small wheat seed multiplication unit outside Nashik in 2005. The founding team worked directly with agricultural research stations, cleaning and grading small lots for neighbouring farmers who wanted a more reliable alternative to open-market grain sold as "seed."

What started with a handful of wheat varieties grew, by demand, into onion seed — Nashik being India's onion hub made that the natural second step. Over the years, farmers asked us to carry paddy, cotton and vegetable hybrids too, and our sourcing and testing standards expanded to match.

Today we work with a network of contracted multiplication farms and over 300 dealers, but the standard hasn't changed: every batch is cleaned, graded and lab-tested before it is packed and labelled for sale.

Why Us

What we won't compromise on

Every batch is lab-tested

Germination and genetic purity are checked before any lot is packed, not just at source.

Truthful labelling

Every pack states variety, germination %, purity % and packing date — no vague "hybrid seed" labels.

A phone call away

Our agronomy team takes sowing and spacing calls directly through the season, not just at the point of sale.

Our Mission

Make certified seed the easy choice, not the expensive one

Uncertified, self-saved or mislabelled seed is still the default for many growers because it's cheaper and easier to find at sowing time. Our goal is to close that gap — by keeping a dealer close to every major growing belt we serve, and pricing certified seed within reach of the average landholding.
